Understanding Tennis Betting Odds & Markets

Fans have several different ways of tennis betting each week of the year. Typically, the most common tennis betting odds involve simply betting on individual matches. Each tennis tournament is essentially a single-elimination format with anywhere from 16 to 128 competitors (for majors).

You will also find tennis odds available for set betting, game betting, total number of games, correct score, player props, live betting, and futures markets. There are slight idiosyncrasies with each of these types of bets, and they can allow bettors to become further immersed in the match.

Tennis Betting Types at Betcris Arizona

If you are unsure of how to bet on tennis, then this section is for you. There are several ways to bet on tennis at Betcris Arizona, and there are dozens of tennis odds available daily throughout the year. 

Match Winner / Moneyline
This type of bet is the simplest and most common way to bet on tennis. When you are betting on a moneyline or a match winner, you are just betting on the winner of the match.

Set Betting
Tennis matches are broken into sets. Whoever can win two (or three in Men’s Majors) sets first, wins the match. Thus, there is set betting before and during the match with the help of live betting. Bettors can wager on the winner of individual sets, and they can bet on whether a player will win (or lose) 2-0, 2-1, 3-0, 3-1, or 3-2.

Correct Set Score
Sets are broken into games, and the first player to win six games wins the set unless they were previously tied 5-5. Then, there are tiebreak scenarios that can cause a set to be decided 7-5 or 7-6. These types of bets can potentially be very profitable, especially if you believe one player will dominate their opponent.

First Set Winner
This is a very straightforward bet, as you are only betting on the winner of the first set.

Total Sets – Over/Under
This can be a shrewd type of bet to make if you believe either an opponent will overpower their counterpart, or one player will either have a tough time figuring out their opponent with fatigue also being a potential factor. In most tennis tournaments, the total number of sets is locked in at 2.5 since there will only be 2 or 3 sets. However, at men’s Grand Slam events, this number will be either 3.5 or 4.5, as the match winner is determined by the first player to win 3 sets.

Game Handicap/Spread
If you want to really get into the action, you can bet on individual games and how many more games a player will win than their opponent. This essentially functions as a spread bet, but unlike other sports, it is possible for a match winner to lose a spread bet by losing more games than their opponent. If Player A beats Player B 6-4, 0-6, 6-4, then Player A will have won the match, but Player B will have won 14 games compared to 12 games won for Player A.

Total Games – Over/Under
In this type of bet, you are betting on the total number of games to be played in a match. Since this is strongly correlated with the number of sets played, you are unable to parlay the two wagers, but there can be more value in this type of wager than in set betting.

Live Betting
We have seen live betting explode over the last decade thanks to increasingly fast connections, and the desire to bet on outcomes in real time. Bettors can wager on the outcome of every game, and the exact result of each game. Sportsbooks are quick to list live betting for tiebreakers too, especially for Grand Slam events.

Player Props
As with other sports, there are a handful of player props available to bet in tennis. These can include serve speed props and exact tournament result props (i.e. Will a player make the semifinals, quarterfinals, etc.?)

Match Props
There are a few match-specific props that can be bet for individual matches. Sportsbooks will occasionally provide betting options on match length, number of serving games broken, and more.

Tournament Winner/Futures Betting
Prior to the start of any tournament, you can wager on the winner of that event. Although tennis can be rather top heavy at times with the best players in the world winning most events, you can occasionally find great value in tennis futures betting.

Bet on Major Tennis Tournaments & Events

There are tennis tournaments on a weekly basis during the season. The tennis season starts in early January and ends in either November or December, allowing fans to bet on tennis events almost throughout the entire calendar year. That means you will never have to wait too long for upcoming tennis tournaments no matter the season.

Grand Slam Tennis Betting Odds

The four Grand Slams are the Australian Open, the French Open, Wimbledon, and the U.S. Open. The Australian Open is the first major and takes place on hard courts in Melbourne in early January. The French Open is the only major on clay court, and it takes place at Roland Garros in Paris in May and/or June. Wimbledon is the only major on grass, and it is held outside of London around the first week of July. Finally, the U.S. Open is on hard court and takes place in New York City around Labor Day.

ATP Tour Betting

The top men’s tennis players in the world play on the ATP Tour. It was founded in 1990, and that coincided with an explosion in the popularity of the game. 

WTA Tour Betting

The best women’s tennis players in the world play on the WTA Tour. This organization and the ATP were founded shortly after the beginning of tennis’ Open Era back in 1968.

International Team Tennis Events

The Davis Cup is a men’s tennis competition that pits teams from different countries against one another annually. This is a massive event where over 150 countries are represented, and the United States and Australia have historically dominated.

The Billie Jean King Cup is the women’s equivalent to the Davis Cup. It has been contested on an annual basis since 1963 with the United States winning the most titles to date.

Live Tennis Betting: In-Match Odds & Markets

Few sporting events are decided as quickly as live tennis betting. Games can finish in as little as 1-2 minutes, allowing bettors to get right back into the action. A service break can pay off in a big way as it will also affect the live tennis odds for the match.

These odds will change in real time, as bettors look to take advantage of factors like momentum, fatigue, the weather, or general play. It is not uncommon for a player to retire due to an injury or fatigue, so a keen bettor can take advantage with live tennis betting.
